Error message but boots up just fine

Open gamingmsi opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

I've installed this month's ISO with archinstall script and when it boots up it quickly presents a message: error: file '/grub/locale/C.gmo' not found. and boots up just fine without issues. I've installed Arch previous month but this hasn't happened.

Again, not a big deal since arch linux boots up fine and works with no issues, just wanted to share this in case anyone else has this message.

Is there a manual fix for this? I just find it annoying.

IIRC didn't upstream add C as the default locale? Could it be related to that introduction? Thank you for reporting this btw, we'll have a look.

I can confirm the issue. One workaround is to execute cp /usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/mit-krb5.mo /boot/grub/locale/C.gmo. Another workaround is to add LANG=C in /etc/default/grub and then execute grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

I concur, I bricked my system today due to the recent GRUB update and I had to chroot in to fix it. Now it boots just fine, but the message itself is annoying.

I couldn't reproduce this. I will go ahead and close the issue for now as completed, if this still happens we can re-open it, a log file would be quite helpful to debug it then
